Stunning upstairs loft features exposed brick walls, local art, and a cozy modern feel in downtown Benton Harbor.
1 br, 1.5 baths, features beautiful KitchenAid appliances, dual-head shower with river rock, and skylights throughout the unit.

This is a unique urban loft in the arts District of Benton Harbor. The building is an old candymaking factory that is about 100 years old and my unit even has an elevator in it that used to be used to bring flour and sugar up-and-down to make candy.
CAT: My partners cat is here during the summer and in January. In the fall and spring she is not here.

Benton Harbor has been through a revitalization over the years so this is a new emerging feel in the community. There are certainly abandoned buildings and some challenging areas a few blocks away but the downtown area is art galleries, coffee shops, an LGBT resource center, thrift stores, and unique restaurants.

Great place, very nicely decorated and very clean! The loft was easy to find, and Brad had prepared it very well (the sparkling cider / coffee were very thoughtful). We really appreciated having the WiFi and Netflix available, too. Really cool vibe, being a restored factory.

Mary2014-09-21T00:00:00Z

Brad was an excellent host. Everything was just as he described. He's done a great job renovating the space into a cool loft. Had everything we needed for a nice stay. Would definately look to book again!

Ryan2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time staying at Brad's place. His home is very clean and extremely eclectic with the exposed brick walls and urban decor. Very close to The Livery (bar with live music), The Mason Jar Cafe (very good brunch spot) and a gelato shop! We also ventured to St Joseph (about a 5 min drive) and went to Silver Beach, Shu's, Czar's (great for live music!) and The Food Depot. Round Barn Winery was also one of our favorites. We had a wonderful weekend getaway! Definitely would recommend this to others.

Julie2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

Great downtown neighborhood with great restaurants nearby, the beautiful beach is five minutes away (a big plus for us), the apartment was wonderful, our host anticipated all our needs (some that we didn't know we had)! We had a very pleasant experience!

Kathryn2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

Great upscale modern loft. Wonderful retreat weekend with my wife. Several interesting bars and restaurants within walking distance. Brad was very accommodating and easy to work with.

Mike2015-02-16T00:00:00Z

This place is the perfect quiet getaway. Went there with fiancé and 18 month old daughter. Couldn't ask for a better get away!

Bridget2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Brad's home was stunning! It was so modern and just simply beautiful. We enjoyed every bit of the stay. We will definitely stay again if we're ever in the area.

Allen2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

Brad did a great job of helping us out with restaurant recommendations, area attractions, etc. to keep us busy during our stay, and it was easy to communicate with him throughout. The loft is a renovated candy factory, so has a lot of character. Overall, a great place to stay.

This private bedroom is located in an upstairs apartment in South West Michigan. Close to several Lake Michigan beaches (Jean Klock, Silver, Tiscornia, Harbor Shores, & Rocky Gap), as well as numerous breweries, wineries, restaurants, and a variety of other activities.

Great place to stay. Stephanie and her husband were great and had lots of suggestions for things to do in the area. Great place to stay in the Benton Harbor/ St. Joes area. Would stay here again for sure.

Mallory2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Stephanie's place is a great place to stay! It's very close to St. Joseph and the decor was so cute! Would definitely recommend!

Jessica2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay with two lovely hosts that were very helpful and enjoyable to talk with. Nice location with access to restaurants and tap rooms. Nearby walking areas were very nice.

Sue2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

Steph was great with communication and we felt right at home. Will definitely consider Steph for our next stay in Michigan!

Tomek2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

Hosts are so kind and communicative. I did not get to stay due to travel issues on my part but really wish I had!

Gretchen2017-07-15T00:00:00Z

This is a cozy spot in the arts district of Benton Harbor. It was quiet and within walking distance of a great brunch spot. The hosts are very friendly and they communicated parking information and directions really well!

Amy2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Although not the most engaging host, Stephanie provided a great room and the location can't be beat - right in downtown Benton Harbor.

Steven2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

Stephanie's room in the apartment was cozy and well furnished, a great find for a last minute stay! The neighborhood seemed a bit sketchy driving in at night, but ended up being in the heart of a developing art area walking distance from an incredible brunch cafe.

Our open-design retro-feel loft features a commercial-style kitchen, cool bathroom skylight, cork floors, and a family-sized walnut plank table. Situated in the up-and-coming Benton Harbor Arts District featuring the best coffee, juice and smoothies right downstairs and the best food around at The Mason Jar; just steps away! Wether it's the Lake (Michigan), Harbor Shores Golf Course, Yoga Muse Yoga Studio, or neighboring St. Joe there's something fun and interesting in our little town for you!

Our space has that special feel of history, retro, and nostalgia when you walk in. Everyone says they get "a really good vibe" from the place. Aside from the feeling of relaxation and wonderment; the loft features a commercial-style kitchen with full amenities, a large family-sized custom oak table, retro couch, washer / dryer, two bedrooms with 3 beds, 1.5 bathrooms, cork floors, and plenty of space to stretch out and feel some relief!
Downstairs we own the Organic Rebel Cafe (with juices, coffees, smoothies, and more), the Yoga Muse yoga studio, the Living in Sinew strength training facility, and feature a wide variety of massage therapists; from lymph drainage to clinical massage styles. We got the health hookup :) remember: you get a 10% discount on everything we offer so check it out!

We are in the very heart of the BHAD (Benton Harbor Arts District); right next door to the world famous sculptor – Richard Hunt – and connected to the Anna Russo Art Gallery.
The Livery, a super awesome brewery featuring the best pizza from here to Chicago, is kiddie corner to us.
The Mason Jar isn't world famous yet but it should be! MJ Cafe is about the best organic restaurant you can find and the same building hosts a multitude of small art shops for local artists, furniture makers, and even a library!
Citadel Dance is just down the road with a second building, right next door, dedicated to their music program.
Next to the music center is a record store! Now we are fully hipster man.
Just outside the art district is the rest of historic Benton Harbor complete with lots of old buildings and beautiful architecture.
Another local brewery, North Pier, is just down the road and they have some of the best beer you could imagine. It's so good when it hits your lips!!!
The Harbor Shores Golf Course is also within walking distance if you enjoy getting out on the green.
On the same road as the Golf Course we teach SUP (Stand Up Paddle-board) Yoga at the small boat launch, check it out!
A little further and you'll hit a variety of beaches. The three closest ones are Tiscornia (at the north pier of the St. Joe river) which is pay to park, Jean Klock Park Beach (featuring an epic pavilion and small sand dune) also pay to enter, and Rocky Gap which is wheelchair accessible and free to park.
Across the river is St. Joseph and a myriad of different shops, activities, and beaches to choose from.

Luke and Adrienne are absolutely wonderful! I cannot express the amounts of kindness they both displayed the minute we arrived up until the minute we left. They are very free spirited, down to earth, genuine, loving people. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay in Benton Harbor was comfortable, fun, and stress free. Luke was great with communicating and showed great hospitality every step of the way. We met Adrienne down at the smoothie/yoga studio. She is one of the kindest souls you will ever meet, plus her juices and smoothies are out of this world. She was thoughtful enough to drive us to the wedding we were attending and give us recommendations for brunch the following day. Would highly recommend Luke and Adrienne to anyone is visiting the Benton Harbor area!

Anne2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

This was a great place to stay while visiting the local art fair. The loft was clean and spacious in a surprisingly lively down town Benton Harbor. We brought our bicycles an rode to the beach and the local art fair which was about 2 miles away. The wineries are not far away as well.

Matt2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

Luke is very flexible and went out of his way to be accommodating. This location is only a couple of miles from Silver Beach. It was perfect for us, because we could put our toddler to sleep at her bedtime and not have to worry about noise levels as we would at a hotel or inn.

Cindy2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

No words can ever explain how awesome of a host Luke was! Told us about all the cool things to do around town! The placement of the apartment could not be better. It's very quiet everything's so close by. I couldn't have asked for a better experience thank you so much Luke!

Axel2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

A wonderful, comfortable, clean place to stay while in town for Ironman Steelhead. Luke and Adrienne were fantastic hosts!

Michaela2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Luke's place was really nice and was exactly as it was described. The building was an old candy factory which was kind of cool too. All the neighbors in the building were very friendly and super helpful. The space walking distance to a few great breakfast spots- Mason Jar and Coffee Canal! Will definitely come back on our next trip to St.Joes.

Brittany2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

What a great stay! Luke's place is absolutely ideal. He was super friendly with lots of great recommendations and knowledge about the area. The loft has a great vibe and felt very safe with parking in front and a key code to enter the building. Benton Harbor is definitely an up and coming area but had quite a few little gems. St Joseph, which has much more to do is simply a 10 min drive. Also the Café downstairs has the best cold brew you'll find! Will definitely be staying here again if back in the area.

The Cottages at Harbor Shores are adjacent to the first fairway of the Harbor Shores Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, and Official Site of the PGA Senior Championship. This awe inspiring course has won acclaim from golfers worldwide. The Golf Cottages are designed to enhance your experience at Harbor Shores, designed to the same architectural style as the Harbor Shores Clubhouse, with a floor plan that allows for varying group sizes to enjoy private use of the Cottage’s amenities.

This home is perfect for a large group! Four private bedrooms/baths and a large, comfortable common area and kitchen. Jack is great and always quick to answer questions. Close to Warren Dunes and lots of other activities. Our group had a great stay and hopes to return.

Terri2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Beautiful home! Very clean and it's perfect for 8 people or more!

Josephine2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

What a great house. Six of us were racing in the Steelhead Half Iron man. The accommodations were perfect. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. There was plenty of room for us all to have dinner together and hang out in the living area together. There was also an awesome back deck that we spent a lot of time on. The golf course and clubhouse were beautiful and our dinner was great. Five stars all the way. We will absolutely be back!

libby2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

This place was fantastic. Very clean, modern, spacious, and well equipped for a relaxing stay. It backs up to the golf course, and Jack can get you a discounted greens fee if you stay with him, so don't forget your clubs. The place fit 5 guys very comfortably. There were 4 bedrooms, each with a comfortable queen bed and each with its own bathroom. We spent most of our time grilling out and sitting on the patio, watching the golfers and relaxing. Aside from the golfers, the house was pretty secluded, as nobody was living in the neighboring houses. Jack lives 5 minutes away, so check in was a breeze. He was very nice and very helpful. Overall, this place was exactly what we were looking for. We could not have had a better experience. We can't wait to come back and stay here again.

Authentic TiPi located on secluded farm with scenic view and walking trails. Close to Lake Michigan beaches, brew pubs, golfing, shopping & restaurant's, perfect for an over night stop or weekend get away

This is a wonderful getaway spot for couples. We stayed for one night and only needed to bring snacks, warm clothing and blankets. All essentials were provided from the host! Happy camping!

Lily2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

TiPi is so awesome and Kaye was a great host. Easy to find and perfectly secluded for a relaxing weekend getaway. Only a few miles from town this is the perfect place for a couple of nights. Kaye was always available and quick to respond to any questions.

Ryan2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Safe, clean, and secluded. It rained twice while we were there, and only a little bit came inside - but it didn't matter because the TiPi is a pretty awesome experience. Would recommend to anyone who wants a change of pace and scenery.

Jonathan2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

Lovely place packed with everything you need. It is a true Tipi experience! The Tipi comes equipped with cots, blankets, lantern, fresh water, stools, and even repellent. Outside, you'll enjoy the peaceful surroundings and hiking paths within the property. Few things to consider is the train is close by so you may here it and reconsider your stay during rainy days. We had a beautiful night, but I'm not sure how the Tipi stays dry during a storm. Overall a great place, clean, beautifully decorated - even the outhouse. A great alternative to camping as a couple.

Sandra2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Home is equipped with stove, fridge, dishwasher, and w/d. This is a really cool space in a quiet neighborhood, easily accessible to surrounding cities. Less than 10 minutes to beaches, golf courses and wineries! So much to do in the great Southwest Michigan you may never want to leave! This home recently won best kitchen and bath in our local parade of homes. You won't be disappointed! NEW grill added May 2017.

The Container is located in a quiet area, very little street traffic and on a ravine. You may possibly see some deer!

What a dream to be the owners/creators of this cute home! It was beautifully designed, spotless, and all around inspiring to stay here. My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few days while we attended a wedding in town and were only mad that we were not able to spend more time in the container home. Check in was very easy and the hosts were easy to get in touch with, if need be. Highly highly recommend, especially if you're into creative housing. Thanks!

Donna & Patty2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

Vicki and Shane are very nice people, on top of things, enthused for what they do, know what the word cleanliness means and entails, know the area quite well and live in the area. We never felt out of touch with them and if necessary could communicate and get answers.

Kue2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

Vicki & Shane's container house screams progressive home living and we loved every second of it. From the industrial-chic bathroom to the farmhouse sliding doors in the living room... It was right out of a magazine. A guest book greeted us when we entered and we loved reading how folks from all over loved what we were about to call home for next 4 nights! Contact was easy and requests for A/C issues were handled almost immediately. Thank you for sharing your home with us! -The new Mr & Mrs Tripolsky

Staci2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

This home is one of a kind. Besides being very unique, the inside is modern and immaculate with top-of-the-line finishes and appliances. I stayed for 5 weeks when in town on work and the home was perfect for me. The space is amazing. Vicki is very responsive and welcoming. I would definitely stay again.

David2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at the container. They did a really great job transforming the space, the pics don't do it justice! Everything you need is close by. We took her suggestion and went to the Mason Jar Cafe, it was great! Most of our trip we hung out and relaxed at the container. We grilled, read books and enjoying hearing the trees blow in the breeze. Vicki is definitely a super host, more than accommodating and quick to respond. We would stay again!

Meghan2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Had a great time! It's a wonderful place with all the amenities you need (the extra toiletries were really appreciated). Just a short and easy 10 minute drive to Silver Beach made it a perfect location for us.

Greg2016-08-05T00:00:00Z

We were very much looking forward to staying in the container home because of our (probably unhealthy) obsession with tiny/nontraditional homes. But, upon our arrival, we did not anticipate how beautiful, modern, and wonderfully designed the home actually was. Vicki and Shane have really done something special here. They've kept the quirks of the shipping container but have made the space inviting and aesthetically pleasing. Even the little details--the mailbox, the gate, the flooring, all keep the roots of the container relevant but situated within a modern and clean look. Vicki was also especially accommodating. Her recommendations, willingness to answer questions and friendly demeanor made our experience even better. You will not have a nicer host. Oh, and we made a little video showing off the space a bit more. Feel free to check it out: (URL HIDDEN)

Chris2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

I had an excellent time staying at the container for 3 nights. It was beautifully decorated, clean, and cozy. Honestly, I don't know why anyone would stay in a hotel when this is available. Vicki was an excellent host and provided delicious brunch and dinner recommendations. Getting to the site was easy, as was obtaining the keys. Would absolutely stay again if coming to the Benton harbor area!

Welcome to Higman Park-our unique and historic oasis nestled along the shores of Lake Michigan.
The cottage offers the perfect location from which to explore all that Southwest Michigan has to offer. World class Golf, fishing, kayaking, berry picking, antiquing, wine country touring is all at your doorstep……Oh, and so much more.

Had a great time at Greg's place! The house was beautiful and cozy. We walked in and the Christmas tree and Christmas music was playing. We really enjoyed playing board games by the fireplace and exploring new breweries and restaurants. Benton Harbor is very close to wineries and not too far from destinations like Saugatauk. Thanks again!

Stephanie2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

We love staying here!!! It was a beautiful house with lots of space. The loft upstairs was so cozy. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen was set up with everything we needed to stay in and cook meals. The neighborhood is super quiet and a little secluded but not far away from the city of St Joseph. There was a nice park close by and a trail for running. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

Love this cozy cabin and Kristi is a great host. Very helpful and easy to communicate with

We would recommend Kristi's cabin for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle and take time to unwind.

Joseph2016-04-02T00:00:00Z

Kristi was very helpful during the whole process of renting and supplied the house with everything we needed. The landscaping and outdoor seating areas are stunning. Our only surprise was that the house is on a loop road of beautiful houses, not in the middle of the woods! The stairs to the loft bedroom are steep as she warned us so be warned if you have issues, but there is a rail bar and lighting.

pamela2016-06-05T00:00:00Z

Kristi was easy to communicate with and was personally interested in our satisfaction. She answered any question we had and provided more than we could ask for. Anything we could think of was available at the cabin (which means we packed way too much!) The cabin looks rustic on the outside but is very modern on the inside. Comfortable furniture, plenty of technology and the kitchen has more than I could ever need. The grounds are beautifully kept. One word of caution: if you use the clothes drying rack, take your stuff off before the automatic sprinklers turn on! The beach is a 5 minute walk away through a friendly neighborhood and down 58 stairs (I counted.) The sand, waves and sunset were beautiful!

John2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Another local brewery, North Pier, is just down the road and they have some of the best beer you could imagine. It's so good when it hits your lips!!!
The Harbor Shores Golf Course is also within walking distance if you enjoy getting out on the green.
On the same road as the Golf Course we teach SUP (Stand Up Paddle-board) Yoga at the small boat launch, check it out!
A little further and you'll hit a variety of beaches. The three closest ones are Tiscornia (at the north pier of the St. Joe river) which is pay to park, Jean Klock Park Beach (featuring an epic pavilion and small sand dune) also pay to enter, and Rocky Gap which is wheelchair accessible and free to park.
Across the river is St. Joseph and a myriad of different shops, activities, and beaches to choose from.

Luke's place was really nice and was exactly as it was described. Everyone in the building was very friendly and in walking distance to a few great breakfast spots- Mason Jar and Coffee Canal! Would definitely come back when we are in the area.

I can't say enough about how amazing our stay was! Super cute artsy area and great places nearby to eat. We loved the accommodations! Very clean, comfortable, and safe. Luke and his partner were very helpful and super friendly! I highly recommend staying at this unique spot.

Luke's space is a comfortable, light-filled converted candy factory with tons of character. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance. Easy access to nearby paved trail for running or cycling (URL HIDDEN)

This was a great space, and our teenaged daughters fell in love with it — especially the loft (which could have used a fan but was still very nice). Our host was incredibly friendly and helpful, both in advance and during our stay. Benton Harbor's downtown neighborhood feels about half-developed (a local shop owner described it as an arts district with no art); it has a nice personality but also some empty spaces, which may not suit everyone. For us, it was perfect — quiet, centrally located for exploring the region, and full of interesting adventures for those who know how to find such things. We loved it.

The location is great, and located in a quiet part of the neighborhood. Nearby are a couple of restaurants such as The Mason Jar and The Livery which were nice. The apartment is very unique looking, with a very functional living space. A short drive away is a wonderful beach, and a great kayaking or paddle boarding rental.

Derick2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

This is really a cool space in the arts district of Benton Harbor, we felt incredibly welcomed and enjoyed our stay. Luke was responsive and easy to communicate with, all in all a super experience.

Amy2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Wonderful, clean and spacious. We'll appointed with all amenities. We found Luke to be helpful and courteous as we had special needs during our stay. I would recommend this highly for anyone who likes the downtown vibe and to be close to the Livery Brewing Co.

My place is one mile from Harbor Shores golf course, situated on Lake Michigan private beach, restaurants within a mile. You’ll enjoy my place if you love the outdoors ,because of it's location & being a beach house with a small deck overlooking Lake Michigan.This is a simple little cabin for beach lovers.
It is available from June 1st through mid September because those are the best weather months.

The beach house has a kitchen area & very small bathroom with shower on the lower level. The upper level has a bedroom with 2 queen size beds and a living room. All rooms face the lake. The deck is accessed from lower level. There is only room for 4 people . If more guests than are registered arrive they will not be accomodated. Children count as people, unless they sleep in a crib . Only registered guests allowed on premises.

Quiet residential neighborhood. We are located 1 mile out of town. During the summer months it gets busy with tourists & visitors, especially from Chicago. Many small boutiques in downtown. Several boat Marinas, restaurants, a water park next to an indoor carousel & other attractions for children. Free "concerts on the bluff" during vacation months, festivals & fairs on weekends.

Wonderful place to stay!

Great location. Private secluded beach but just a few minutes drive to restaurants and breweries. Very friendly host. House was super clean and lake views from every room.

Andrew2017-06-08T00:00:00Z

Everything we hoped for. The views were out of this world. We knew our Anthony would have fun in the waves but he keeps showing us what a water-baby he truly is ❤. We can't believe you built this gem; thank you so much for sharing it with so many. You thought of everything; even for a family with a toddler. What a lovely vacation. The Visconti's

Lola's beach home was absolutely wonderful. You can't beat the Lake Michigan views from the gorgeous living room! We enjoyed the beach being right outside the door. We would absolutely go back!

Katie2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Staying at Lola's was amazing! The place was clean, easy to find, and was in a perfect location! The lake was beautiful - we hardly spent any time indoors! I would definitely return back for another relaxing weekend.

Phyllis2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

The beach house was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family. We enjoyed the view of the lake and short walk through the sand to the beach(50 yards). This house is "right on the lake." There are about 80 steps you walk down to the house. At first I was a little concerned about dragging all the luggage, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. Plus they generously offered to help take the luggage down and bring it up. The stairs are well lit at night. The beach/water was a great location. While the beach was a bit small, it wasn't their fault. Some storms in the spring had caused it to recede, but it will return soon. Also, it really didn't matter because there is so much beach around(right beside Rocky Gap Park) and we spent a lot of time at Silver Beach(about 5 minutes away). For the price, it was worth no internet or television. The views were so beautiful that we would have very rarely used them anyways. We have hundreds of priceless pictures! We are thankful to have had the opportunity to stay here. We will return.

Mike2017-06-23T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay - a truly extraordinary experience. The views from the beach house were phenomenal, and our boys loved playing on the private beach. Lola was a wonderful host - friendly and helpful.

Nice large getaway home near lots of attractions including the Benton harbor art district, harbor shores golf course, down town saint joseph, kiaking and four connecting beaches , silver beach is the most popular one.

First off, Steph is a fantastic host! Met us late at night and really helped us settle into the place. She gave us some great ideas for the weekend and took the time to explain everything about the apartment. The apt itself is in a great location. Its basically right on the water with only a tiny walk and right next to the lovely fountain, beachfront, and carousel. It is a bit small for a 3 bed 1 bath, but for a couple we found it to be a ok amount of space. It has a nice homey feel to it and strikes a decent balance between old and new. It is possibly due for an updated television, but honestly we spent 90% of our time outside so it wasn't a big deal. The only downsides we found were in relation to the climate and bathroom. We found out only when we arrived (would have been nice to know up front) that you have no control over the temperature in the apt. So at times the place was freezing cold and we had to triple up on blankets. For the price this seemed like a pretty big flaw but we made the best of it. I'd imagine in the summer this could be a night mare when its hot out. Second, the bath room shower was REALLY hard to get warm. It's a fairly dated tub/plumbing and hot water was hard to come by. I can only assume that like the temp, this unit shares the hot-water heater with the tenants below. This meant that cold showers were a reality and my wife ended up running out of the showing in the morning when the hot water turned to ice (although i giggled). In all we had a lovely experience at St Josephs and will likely return. If you can live with the downsides written above, the apt is in an incredible location and the host is wonderful. Hope this helps and thanks Stephanie!

We loved our stay here! The location can't be beat-just one block to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shops. The place was cute and clean, bed was very comfortable. Stephanie and Jimmy both made sure we knew they were available if we needed anything. Highly recommend and hope to return.

Laura2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

Very cozy second floor apartment in the perfect location! Steps from the lakefront beach and minutes from downtown, this is the ideal place to stay in Saint Joseph if you want to be in the heart of town.

Christina2017-05-15T00:00:00Z

I am looking forward to makikg this trip a family tradition. Beautiful little town and fantastic location right next to the beach. Stephanie and Jimmy have done a great job with this property. You get what you pay and this little apartment was worth the cost.
